[OOC] World in Revolution: 1900

[The Nexerus]

Does everyone send orders to Stein, or do some people's orders go to Dutch?

[Pepperm1nts]

I was going to ask the same. The OP says Stein.

Careful. Britain and US may decided not to help you out in war if you decided to build the Panama Canal... We not of liking competition.

I hear the German empire would make a lovely ally;)

SOUND THE MONROE DOCTRINE ALARM. ALERT. BREACH IN DOCTRINE.

@Orders, In the chat Dutch and Stein were saying to send non-Euro orders to Dutch, but I'd like confirmation of that. Also, I do believe all war orders go to Stein. But again. Confirmation required.

EDIT: @Byrd, I would assume a new constitution would indeed make it the Fourth Republic, but that's my opinion. Why are you wanting of new constitution?

Isn't the Monroe doctrine not actually legally binding to anything....

The Third Republic never had a constitution, just a group of laws establishing the branches of government. It may be technically a new republic, but I say it's just writing down a list of laws for the current government. I wanted to do it because reading up on the Third Republic showed me that it couldn't keep a PM to save its life. The President was more sort of a ceremonial role, elected by the legislatures. The PM was the head of government, but the system was so unstable that government's were constantly being reformed and reformed again. I want to make it more like the Fifth Republic, the President is elected by the people and is commander-in-chief of French armed forces and handles diplomacy while the PM is appointed by the President and handles the cabinet and domestic affairs. I understand that the the PM and President were weak under the Third Republic was for a reason, the last president elected by the French people pulled a coup and had himself declared Napoleon III, and the Second Republic became the Second Empire.

[AegonVI]

Oh! Now I get it! (Yes it isn't actually binding)

Ah, okay. Seems realistic, though it shall be interesting to see how your orders go through...

[Pepperm1nts]

I wish I had shit to sell.

Russia, huh? What does Russia want with Panama Canal?

Also, what would I have to bid to take it at this point?

The Philippines.

The Philippines.

In $$$, Bryd. Geez Man.

[Byrd Man]

Just pay me whatever the Philippines are worth. Also, an act of congress in 1902 bought the rights for 40 million.

I'll consider buying them, but I could also just fan the flames of that Civil War in Colombia and make it VERY hard to build such a canal...
